Title: Report: Apple Watch aims to last 19 hours per charge Post by: HCK on January 23, 2015, 09:00:17 am Report: Apple Watch aims to last 19 hours per charge
<article> <section class="page"> <p> If all goes according to plan, your Apple Watch should last about 19 hours on a single charge, according to the latest scoop from 9to5Mac (http://9to5mac.com/2015/01/22/apple-targets-for-apple-watch-battery-life-revealed-a5-caliber-cpu-inside/).</p><p> The Apple-centric site reported Thursday that the S1 chip in the Apple Watch is similar in power to the A5 processor in an iPod touch, and the display has a refresh rate of 60 frames per second. That gives the watch impressive performance and a stunning screen, but it also means shorter battery life. According to 9to5Mac's unnamed sources, Apple really wants the watch to stand up to 2.5 to 4 hours of intense use (fitness-tracking, games, or apps), or three days in standby mode when the watch face display is off. The 19-hour goal is a combination of active and passive use—but mostly passive.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2874167/report-apple-watch-aims-to-last-19-hours-per-charge.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Report: Apple Watch aims to last 19 hours per charge (http://www.macworld.com/article/2874167/report-apple-watch-aims-to-last-19-hours-per-charge.html#tk.rss_all) |
